NMR Spectroscopy is the premier tool utilized by chemists to obtain detailed chemical information on molecular structure and is used extensively in molecular structure verification, chemical purity analysis, and complex mixture analysis. We have developed a quantitative NMR analysis that yields a chemical fingerprint that brewers can utilize to follow detailed variations in the chemistry […]

Here is an example of spectral reproducibility. We are doing a lot of beer NMR at the moment on our 300 MHz NMR and for “giggles” we are running many samples through the various bench-top systems in our lab. We have been quantifying small organic acids (lactic, acetic, succinic , malic, citric, etc.) as they […]

Adam DiCaprio (ex PNA) gave an excellent Science Cafe Talk under the auspices of the ACS North Carolina Section at the Busy Bee Cafe in downtown Raleigh on December 2, 2014. CHanging gears from his previous talks he centered the discussion on malt and hop chemistry as well as an start-to-finish NMR analysis of production […]
